Anthony Martial was on the scoresheet against Wolfsburg and generally looked lively, so his odds of 5/1 to break the deadlock could be worth a punt. These two teams haven’t met since the 1988/89 season when they battled in the FA Cup, with United winning 2-1 over two legs.

They will need to be at their best to beat the Cherries though, who sensationally came away from Stamford Bridge with three points last time out.

Bournemouth unbeaten in three

The win against Chelsea made it three games without a defeat for Eddie Howe’s side and they are starting to show that they can cope without key players who are injured.

Glen Murray netted the winner in west London and the striker is starting to prove that he was a savvy signing for last season’s Championship winners.

Van the man

Despite being eliminated from the Champions League, Van Gaal insists he is the right man to lead United to silverware.

“You can lose and you can win in sport, and you have to accept that, as a player and as a manager, but you have to work very hard and I am working very hard and my players are working very hard and doing everything we can do,” said the Dutchman.

“The problem is that we have to meet the expectations and the expectations at a club like Manchester United are very high, and that’s our problem.”

It will be interesting to see how United approach this match with the team being criticised for their defensive style of play this term.

Wayne Rooney can usually be counted on when the team comes under scrutiny and the forward is 7/1 to score two or more.
